Large swing/bore CNC lathe recommendations?

Jul 10, 2007 8 Replies

My friend is looking into getting a large swing and big bore CNC lathe. He is interested in the Haas TL-3, but it doesn't come with a turret, and I think he'd be better served by a machine with a turret.


30" swing (ie, can really swing 30" parts)
3" bore

He's open to used machines in excellent condition.



Thanks!



Why you're perfectly welcome....

I have a Mazak M4 - only 22" swing, 3" spindle bore,72" long, twin turrets with turret tool holders included. This is a 30 year old machine in good, not excellent condition. It has a refit control by Camsoft. I'm located in Minnesota. $5000

He's looking for new or really excellent condition, and really wants the 30" swing. Mostly just looking for recommendations for new or recent machines.

Thanks.

MOri Seiki SL65 for starters. A lathe without a turret is like a truck without tires.

when haas says a 5-7 year life span for there machines there not lying you get what you pay for !!!

Do you get a spindle motor with the haas or just 5 hamsters and a wheel?
